NCSG Additional Budget Request/ Results

[farzaneh badii]

Please find below the additional budget requests of NCSG both approved and
not approved.

I will start having a discussion with NCSG FC about these opportunity and
the allocation of funds in the near future.

*APPROVED:*



*FY19-08-NCSG-Participation of Leaders from Developing Countries at ICANN
Meetings NCSG request for support of leadership from developing countries
at ICANN Public Meetings*



(Yes)(10,045)(to be managed by Benedetta Rossi, Manager for   Policy
Support &  Community Services, ICANN Policy Development Support)



The    success of similar pilot    efforts and    the opportunity presented
for leadership recruitment from    under served and    underrepresented
countries qualifies this    request for   support. Approval is  granted
for   1 traveller per   ICANN Public Meeting in  FY19 (i.e.    ICANN63,
64,   and 65)   from    an   underserved and underrepresented country
within the   applicable ICANN meeting region. Approval of   this request is
contingent upon    coordination with    ICANN’s Policy Development Support
Team and on   the submission of a  written report within 30   days    of
travel which addresses how    the   opportunity met  the   request
objectives and each    itemized metric as per the community request. The
report is  to  be   submitted to sbr-outcomes at icann.org and    is  a
condition of  future resource allocations. Unused travel allocations may
not be   carried over    to  future meetings or  the   next    fiscal
year.    Approved travel means economy airfare +  hotel + per   diem for 1
traveller as noted above.



*FY19-09-NCSG-Capacity Building Program for NCSG/NCUC/NPOC Request for the
continuation of the FY18 NCSG/NCUC/NPOC Capacity Building Program aimed at
consensus building within ICANN PDP/WG environment*



(Yes    –  partial approval)(10,900)(to be managed by   Benedetta Rossi,
Manager for Policy Support & Community Services, ICANN Policy Development
Support)



Deliverables from    the   first    NCSG/NCUC/NPOC Capacity Building
Program (FY18-25) included the production of  materials which are   to
be   made accessible on   demand via   ICANN Learn. The    ICANN
Organization, in   collaboration with the NCSG, NCUC and    NPOC, will
evaluate the success of   the FY18 program including the   use   and
usability of  ICANN Learn. This    ABR    allocation is for the   delivery
of another round of training via   webinars, in   keeping with    the
FY18 experience, with    a  professional trainer, on the understanding
that    the   training will    be complementary to the   materials to  be
created for ICANN Learn based on   the   FY18 ABR    allocation. The
funds allocated do   not   include travel support or a face-to-face
component. The    NCSG should consider incorporating feedback from their
experience in FY18, when collaborating with    ICANN Organization and
the   professional trainer for   this FY19 project.





*NOT APPROVED:*



*FY19-04-NCSG-NCSG IGF Request*



*NCSG request for travel support to the 2019 IGF for 3 NCSG members to
organize a workshop (No)(0)*



The    thoughtfulness  and    specificity included within this    request
is  greatly  appreciated. However, decisions relating to  FY19 ABR
approvals are   made based on   the   extent to  which the   request is
directly and    demonstrably related to   current ICANN policy, advisory
and    technical work and,    in   relation to travel related requests,
whether the   event in  question is  or  will take    place     at  an
ICANN Public Meeting. As a  result, this   request cannot be accommodated
in FY19. The    NCSG is encouraged to  liaise    with    the appropriate
ICANN  regional engagement teams to   collaborate in   raising awareness
and    forging partnerships.



*FY19-05-NCSG-Travel Support for DNS Related Activities*



NCSG Request for attendance at 5 DNS-related events during FY19 (No)(0)



Decisions relating to   ABR approvals for FY19 are   made based on   the
extent to   which the   request is directly and   demonstrably related to
current ICANN policy, advisory and   technical work    and, in  relation to
travel related requests, whether the   event in question is  or will
take    place at   an   ICANN Public Meeting. As   a  result, this request
cannot be accommodated in  FY19. The    NCSG is encouraged to  liaise with
the   appropriate ICANN regional engagement teams to  collaborate in
raising awareness and    forging partnerships.



*Y19-06-NCSG-Student Research* *Assistant*



NCSG request for a student/research assistant to provide research support
for public comment on a 12-month basis (No)(0)



The ICANN Organization recognizes the   importance of  facilitating
community contributions through the public comment process; however, this
request cannot be   accommodated in   FY19. The NCSG is encouraged to
liaise with ICANN's Public Responsibility Support (PRS) Team to seek
their assistance in identifying capable and    interested researchers or
students (e.g.    NextGen/Fellowship Alumni).



*FY19-07-NCSG-Roundtable* *Seminars*



NCSG request for round table meetings prior to DNS related conferences
aimed at NCSG member in-reach.(No)(0)



The NCSG's roundtable seminar approach aimed at in-reach is  an
interesting idea.    Decisions relating to ABR approvals for   FY19 are
made based on   the   extent to  which the   request is  directly and
demonstrably related to  current ICANN policy, advisory and    technical
work    and,    in relation to  travel related requests, whether the
event in question is  or  will    take place at an   ICANN Public Meeting.
As   a  result, this request cannot be   accommodated in   FY19. The
NCSG is  encouraged to liaise     with the   appropriate ICANN regional
engagement teams to  explore the possibility of  aligning such roundtables
with ICANN Public Meetings.
